Today, to celebrate the release of Ticket to Ride: New York, Days of Wonder launches a contest on their Facebook page, in which the winner will win a trip to New York City. It will take place from the 9th until the 18th of July.

The boardgame company offers the opportunity to win a trip for two to New York, including 4 nights in a four-star hotel. To participate, participants have to go on the Days of Wonder Facebook page and answer the following question in comment : “Who is the illustrator of Ticket to Ride: New York?”

The winners will be randomly drawn on the 19th of July. The winner will win the trip and ten other participants will receive a copy of Ticket to Ride: New York.

Due to legal issue, only the following countries are eligible for participation: France, USA, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Spain, and United Kingdom.

We are planning a 2 hours maintenance operation on our systems and servers on January 9th, 2018, starting at 09:00 UTC (4:00 AM EST).

During this maintenance we’ll move all our infrastructure to a new provider, in order to enhance the quality of our services and allow for more growth in the future.

Unfortunately this means we will have to completely shut-down our digital services during the operation. We estimate that the migration process will take our IT team two full hours.

During this 2 hours time span it will not be possible to play online on most of our games (including but not limited to Ticket to Ride, Smallworld 2, Splendor, Carcassonne, Potion Explosion, Mysterium, Memoir’ 44 etc.). It will normally be possible to play most of those games in solo or offline mode.

You may have noted that unlike most of our previous games, there is no online registration code on the back of the Cargo Noir rules booklet. We’re experimenting with a new trust-based, code-less, registration system.

If you haven’t discovered our classic card game, Gang of Four yet, playing online is a great way to learn and see just how much fun this competitive game is. (If you are a poker player you will love it!)

Building up on the success of our newly released Memoir ’44 Air Pack, we have embarked on a months-long project to revamp how we create, design and store scenarios in Memoir ’44 and BattleLore, and help pave the ground for future projects.
